#$%^&*AU2017200889A120170302.pdf#####1001723459 ABSTRACT This invention is based on unexpected synergistic effect of a cyclopropene compound and a modified atmosphere package to extend shelf life and/or storage for avocados. Provided is a method of storing avocados comprising the step of exposing avocados to an atmosphere that contains a cyclopropene compound, wherein either (a) the avocados are in a modified-atmosphere package during exposure to the cyclopropene compound, or (b) the avocados are placed into a modified-atmosphere package after exposure to the cyclopropene compound, and the avocados remain in the modified atmosphere package for at least two hours. In some embodiments, the modified-atmosphere package is constructed so that the transmission rate of oxygen for the entire package is from 200 to 40,000 cubic centimeters per day per kilogram of avocados.
